A private collectors' club

An extraordinary enclave for the automobile — and the people who cherish it.

Since 1978, The Candy Store has gathered great cars and kindred spirits beneath the beams of a landmark 1928 Packard dealership. Part museum, part clubhouse, wholly original — a quiet address where the art of the motorcar is kept alive, and where members, family and friends create new memories.

Our heritage

A landmark born of the
great age of motoring.

The Candy Store began in 1978 with two enthusiasts — Bob Cole and Russell Head — who imagined a safe place to keep their cars and a clubhouse in which to share the visual feast with kindred spirits.

In 1983 the club organized as a not-for-profit and settled into its present home: an elegant Spanish-style building designed in 1928 as a Packard dealership for Earle C. Anthony.
